"We revealed information about diet and evidence that people actually moved, which would not have been accessible by classic anthropological and archaeological methods alone." What is craniosynostosis Craniosynostosis is a condition in which the sutures in a child’s skull close too early, causing problems with head growth. The earlier you can get a diagnosisideally, before the age of 6 monthsthe more effective treatment can be. "The application of new technology - isotope analysis - helped enormously to comprehend community formation and lifestyle during the fifth century," the study co-authors said. But as your baby grows, a misshapen head could be a sign of something else. A psychosocial consequence of having an ‘abnormal’ head shape is the emotional difficulties that a person might face throughout childhood and possibly into later life. 1 Craniosynostosis is a rare but serious condition where one or more sutures of the skull close too early. Previously, archaeologists had hypothesized that new arrivals to Pannonia Valeria settled with people who had lived there under the Romans, based on artifacts that were found in the graves the new evidence confirms that, according to the study. A misshapen head may affect psychological wellbeing later in life. Two types of conditions may cause misshapen heads: Positional plagiocephaly is a condition where specific parts of a baby’s head develop a flattened shape. Finding people of different origins mingled together in a cemetery suggests that these groups were living together, establishing a community where cultural habits and customs that were once regional - such as diet or head-binding - were shared and adopted between groups in the waning days of the Roman Empire. Some originated near Mözs and others settled there after being displaced. However, variations in the location and direction of grooves in the skulls suggest that different binding techniques were used among the groups.Īnalysis of isotopes, or different versions of atoms, in the bones provided more clues about where individuals in the later burials came from. Slowed head growth while the body continues to grow. A hard ridge along the coronal suture on the side of the head. A disappearing soft spot, or fontanel, on the top of your baby’s head. Individuals with artificially stretched skulls were found in all three burial groups, with elongated skulls comprising around 32% of the burials in the first group 65% in the second group and 70% in the third group. Common symptoms of coronal craniosynostosis include: A misshapen head and skull.
